I would love to share this quote as a writing assignment when we begin lessons again. How true Michelle and I think my Alex would appreciate these words, he has a beautiful way of looking at our world.
Enjoy a beautiful weekend.

The first thing that came to my mind was my late aunt teaching me to paint. I used to bug and bug her as a child to use her oils until she decided to teach me and made me do things like paint spheres for a whole year till I learnt how light bounces off things like marbles. Anyway, she used to say, “paint what you see, not what you know is there.” And I learned that I see violet (not grey) shadows and turquoise light in golden objects. It’s amazing what you see when you put away the what you know is there prejudice. :D
